Funnily enough, I tried out a typing game called tuxtype something... Didn't work..

Legendary game engineer, Mike Singleton, passed away recently http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2012/oct/16/mike-singleton-rpg-visionary-games. I've kinda peppered the forums with requests for "Lords of Midnight" games in Puppy linux, and while I can get various fan-made java remakes going, the dos versions remain a bit of a challenge to me (the ones I have use the dexe format). Wine would be the environment of choice to run Chris Wilds' remakes in Windows, as with the "War of the Solstice" remake. Seems like I have myself a project this Christmas break, in Akita

That's fabulous, sc0ttman - as ever, you're a champ
I'll get around to tinkering with L.O.M. issues next weekend- stay tuned...
Especial thanks for all those media pets - you're right I thnk, I explored Cinerella briefly for a small movie-making project recently, and I think Avidemux will be more appropriate for numpties like me and schoolkids, alike.

My old junker PC could really use this puppy. Earlier today I installed Carolina 003 and yesterday Precise 5.4.1, so my hardware is sure capable. Actually it's 9 yrs old and really needs something like Akita. Any idea's very appreciated.

All I can think of is that you're trying to access ext4?? The old 2.6.25.16 kernel doesn't support it... Even if I update to a newer kernel with ext4, there are still more changes needed to fully support ext4...

Yes that's it. My entire PC is EXT4 because I don't have Windoze --- BTW, I noticed on "first shutdown" that ext4 wasn't an option. I'll format a partition to ext2..... Thanks sc0ttman.

**EDIT** The WM selections interest me probably the most. I'm using E16 and it's pretty nice. When I used E17 in Snowlinux I thought it rather over-the-top (for me). I'm hoping I'll get another shot at Fluxbox and any comments appreciated.

Does Akita have a 4.x / Wary 5.x level of dial-up driver support?
Also, should the Akita .pets work with Wary?

Thanks.

Akita has the same dialup setup and drivers as pup4, except that a few of the frontends are updated in various ways, internationalised and a few extra fixes .... And I think most of the pets should work with Wary, although Akita is based on Wary 5.1.x, so it has older ffmpeg than Wary 5.3 and later...

Hello I am working on getting an old pc up. It is powered by a Abit BH-6 Motherboard (look @ my sig for basics). I will try to run akita, but no sure if it will work at this point as I need a a new hard drive, and a cd drive. It is obviously is too old to boot from USB._________________What consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of your business so if you think there is something wrong with homosexuality and your bothered by it, then you're an idiot who needs to mind their own business.

Hi sc0ttman,
I think that I might *just* be missing something really obvious - like using the wrong Akita kernel version for my kids entertainment machine, or by not having the devx loaded, or bad downloads etc - but I can't get my new HD 5450 Ati-Radeon 1GB ddr3, HDMI+audio playing ball with Akita 13.
Its a Intel Motherboard E210882 (D945GTP) with LGA775 800Mhz cpu, currently running 5gb ddr2 ram (heh - will there ever be a PAE Akita - Reminds me - even though non-pae will only see 3gb-ish ram, does it distribute the load over the ram banks or only focus on the first banks? Would it make for a longer-surviving RAM overall??)
I downloaded the Akita13beta 2.6.25.16 kernel, and also your Ati-Catalyst-8.12-xorg7.3-k2.6.25.16.pet (MD5 225e08f2d79c1697f021a38557c8b8f8 - if that gels with your original). After I wiped the partition with ol' Akita10 and frugal-installed Akita13 (under a 800x600 vesa that wouldn't show menu icons on the LPC tv I have it connected to), made a new save file and rebooted, I followed your directions for installing the Ati-Catalyst-8.12-xorg7.3 pet, and exited to X. "Ati-catalyst' was option 9 in the xorgwizard list of Xorg options, and on selection churned out a long list of unfurling directories until:

(and then drops back to prompt after presenting 'xwin' and 'xorgwizard' selection help)
On one occasion I rewiped and started over, and got a "4838 Segmentation fault" instead of 9800, above. A dodgy hard drive perhaps?
Anyways I extracted the pet in an attempt to track down the problem (in my end-user manner) and found that the fglrx source tgz had configure and make codes within - I'm guessing I need devx installed to help it over the hump? I'm downloading your akita13 devx now, but apparently will take another 3 hours from now to complete download, due to my ISP-choked bandwidth. My plans for LOM on Akita will have to wait...
Any advice on my glx woes gratefully received,
Cheers!_________________Toowoomba Linux Community

EDIT: Does Akita support Diamond Multimedia's Viper V550 gfx card. It's an old AGP card from 1998._________________What consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of your business so if you think there is something wrong with homosexuality and your bothered by it, then you're an idiot who needs to mind their own business.

that's not good, I was gonna order one of those... or an nvidia 220 something...

I might make one with a Wary kernel again at some point... but like I said eariler, the OpenGL never seems to work right...

No idea to be honest, I'm happy with 2GB...

About the ATI drivers... Not sure what the problem might be... your md5 is fine.. The ATI drivers akita uses were built by MU quite a while back now, maybe your card is too new...

I only once had some ATI hardware to test the ATI drivers with - they worked OK, a little buggy, X crashed a few times, but it seemed OK, performance was crap, but so was the laptop in general... So I can't be sure what the problem is, but I know I didn't use the devx to load the ATI drivers...

Maybe newer drivers need to be compiled, I might be getting a similar card, so could give it a go... I mainly had old nvidia AGP cards, which was lucky cos most Nvidia drivers are available and reliable in puppy... Not so much for ATI, I think...
